Discussion

This was the 1st of the spits which were part of the third removal (with 002CA00096 and 002CA00097) of material across the the loamy buried soil 002CA00080. The material removed was a loamy sand (Munsell colour 10YR 3/4). As with most of these spits, a high density of objects and animal bones was recovered. Generally, there was a higher Anglian pottery sherd rate (12) than was found in the spits in the southern excavated areas, although this spit also contained a significant number (8) of Medieval sherds. Once again, cattle bones represent the majority (67%) of animal bones. Linear paterning was again faintly visible, although more spits of this material were removed before a sequence of gullies (002CA01016, 002CA01018 and 002CA01128) was finally revealed below.
